The Yellow Card

In the sporting world, if you're flashed a yellow card, you're being cautioned that maybe you should stop flicking the bird at the ref, continuously elbowing opponents in the teeth/neck/box, or taking off from the game to go “smoke” with your boyfriend behind the school without permission. If you do get awarded the card, don't fret. You have another chance. However, two yellow cards (which is the equivalent of a red card) means you are out of the game and, in some leagues, have to sit out the following game(s) disappointing your coach, teammates, and your now ex-boyfriend.

RATING:15%

What's worse is the silly soccer referee finger-wave, which is given when a player tries to feign injury in order to have a penalty called. I see it constantly, regardless of league, continent, etc.

What's worse is a 200 ft tall dinosaur with guns for arms.

I was asking myself the same question, RKT.

PS - We called him Lollsies back when we were young bucks stomping around Yale. He loves it. It reminds him of simpler times.

I asked him. He said he's "on sabbatical." I think that's a polite term for "getting a life." Obviously he hasn't heard our new slogan, "R3: Where Life Comes to You"(TM).
